THE ASTRONAUT WHO TOOK THIS PHOTO, IS THE ONLY HUMAN, DEAD OR ALIVE THAT ISN’T IN THE FRAME OF THIS PICTURE

This picture of the Lunar Module was taken by Michael
Collins. It contains Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong and of course the Earth in
the Background. This picture was taken during the Apollo 11 mission, and it
makes him the only person to have ever lived who was not inside this photo.

Because Matter cannot be destroyed nor created, it
means that every human that ever lived up to the moment in time that this
picture was taken, still exists, in some form that is. It also means that every
person that was born afterwards is also in this photo, again in some form.

Even if you were not born yet, the matter from which
you are made off is in this picture.

Collins, in his second and last mission, served as
the command module pilot for the Apollo 11 mission. As Neil Armstrong and Buzz
Aldrin were the first to make a manned landing on the surface of the moon,
Collins waited in the command module for over 21 hours for their return.

When the command module drifter behind the moon,
losing all communication with the Earth, he wrote:

“This venture has been structured for three men, and
I consider my third to be as necessary as either of the other two. I don’t mean
to deny a feeling of solitude. It is there, reinforced by the fact that radio
contact with the Earth abruptly cuts off at the instant I disappear behind the
moon, I am alone now, truly alone, and absolutely isolated from any known life.
I am it. If a count were taken, the score would be three billion plus two over
on the other side of the moon, and one plus God knows what on this side.”

The Guardian interviewed Collins in 2009, and he
revealed to be anxious about Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin’s safety. Fearing
that in the case of a calamity he would have to return to Earth alone. Being
the sole survivor of a failed mission, he would be “a marked man for life”.

Luckily, the mission was a complete success, and
everybody returned to earth safely.

Scientists
said on Thursday they recorded particles travelling faster than light - a
finding that could overturn one of Einstein's fundamental laws of the universe.
Antonio Ereditato, spokesman for the international group of researchers, saidthat measurements taken over three years showed neutrinos pumped from CERN near
Geneva to Gran Sasso in Italy had arrived 60 nanoseconds quicker than light
would have done.

“We
have high confidence in our results. We have checked and rechecked for anything
that could have distorted our measurements but we found nothing," he said.
"We now want colleagues to check them independently.” If
confirmed, the discovery would undermine Albert Einstein's 1905 theory of
special relativity, which says that the speed of light is a "cosmic
constant" and that nothing in the universe can travel faster. That
assertion, which has withstood over a century of testing, is one of the key
elements of the so-called Standard Model of physics, whic…

NASA’s Kepler Space
Telescope discovered an Earth-like planet circling a nearby star within the
Goldilocks zone of our galaxy. Kepler-186f is around 500 light-years from Earth
in the Cygnus constellation. The habitable zone, also identified as the
Goldilocks zone, is the area around a star within which planetary-mass objects
with enough atmospheric pressure can sustain liquid water at their surfaces.

While it has been
projected that there are at least 40 billion Earth-sized planets circling in
our Milky Way Galaxy, this specific finding is labelled the first Earth-sized
planet to be discovered in the habitable zone of another star. What does this mean?In addition to
Kepler-186f, there are 4 other planets that circle a nearby star within the
Kepler-186f system. What this means is that if the neighbouring star to this
planet is just like our Sun, then the likelihood of life on this planet
exponentially increases.

planet where life survives – Earth. When we hunt for lif…

The reason why certain countries looks bigger or smaller than others is because of something called the Mercator Projection. Putting a 3D planet on a two-dimensional map was something of a challenge for early cartographers and so a Flemish geographer and cartographer named Gerardus Mercator came up with a solution. In 1569 he designed a map that could be accurately used for navigation purposes, but the downside was that his system distorted the size of objects depending on their position relative to the equator. Because of this, landmasses like Antarctica and Greenland appeared much larger than they actually are.

To show how incorrect our understanding of country sizes is, a website called thetruesize.com lets you move landmasses into different locations. Bored Panda has played a bit on this site, and this is what we found. #1 US Moved Down Next To Australia Looks Unbelievably Small
